Too generic
Going only uses 5 criteria: origin, budget, dates, class, duration. Your config Air Canada preferred + direct flight + checked bag included? Ignored.
Not 100 deals a week. No newsletter. Just your price, your airline, your date window — monitored continuously across 31 criteria (routes, budget, schedules, baggage, layovers, alliances…). You get an alert only when the price matches.
-50% on Premium for the first year (first 200).
Going only uses 5 criteria: origin, budget, dates, class, duration. Your config Air Canada preferred + direct flight + checked bag included? Ignored.
Going Premium broadcasts 3-5 deals/week to ~1M subscribers. For power users, 99% are ignored — they don't match real criteria.
The deal disappears in hours. Without targeted push notifications by criteria, you see the email after the price has bounced back up.
One configuration, 24/7 scanning, alert only when your conditions are met.
Kestrelia is a SaaS platform for flight price alerts built for travelers with precise constraints. Where Going (deal newsletter) and Hopper (OTA + fintech) use 3 to 5 personalization criteria and broadcast the same deals to a million subscribers, Kestrelia monitors 31 criteria per user — multiple origins and destinations, exact budget, preferred airlines, alliances, cabin classes, baggage, layover durations, departure and return time windows, days of the week, confidence score — and sends an alert only when a price matches that user's exact configuration. The platform is operated by NOKARIS Lab, an independent studio based in Gatineau, Québec (Canada), and entirely hosted in Canada (compliant with Quebec's Loi 25, Canada's federal PIPEDA, and EU GDPR). Phase 0 (public waitlist) live May 2026; public launch Q4 2026 in Quebec.
31 criteria total. You choose which ones matter for your trips.
Once. Routes, budget, preferred airlines, schedules, baggage. As precise as you want.
Multi-provider Amadeus + Duffel + FlightAPI. Hourly scans. If nothing matches, zero email.
Email + instant push the moment a price matches your criteria. Not a broadcast — your deal.
